Letters Patent No. 66,788, dated July 16,1867.

IMPROVEMENT IN SHAVING-GUPS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY, CONCERN:

Be it known that we, GEORGE P. BROOKS and JAMES MCGRADY, oi' Boston, in the county of Sufi'olk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an improved Shaving-Mug, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptioin reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in whicht Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved shaving-mug.

Figure 2 is n vertical section through the centre of the same.

Our invention consists in combining a. soap-receptacle with a mug, so that the soap may always be in a convenient position ready'for use during the operation of shaving.

To enable others skilled in the art to understand and use our invention, we will proceed to' describe the manner in which we have carried it out.

In the said drawings, A represents the portion of the mug which contains the water, the upper portion beingenlarged at one side and provided with a bottom, a, and a partition, 6, so as to form a receptacle, B, for holding the shaving-soap, which is thus always at hand with the mug, in a position ready for use. And it will be seen that hot water placed in the portion A of the mug, being partially covered over by the bottom of the receptacle B, will not become cooled so rapidly as would be the case if its entire surface were exposed to the air.

A shaving-mug formed 'as above described need occupy no more space thanv an ordinary mug, while it possesses the advantage of two receptacles, for water and soap, combined in one, it being merely necessary to dip the brush from one to the othento use the amount of soap or water required.

The above-described mug may be constructed of earthenware, metal, or other suitablematerial, and the water may be heated in it, instead of in a separate vessel, if desired.

O'Zaz'm. What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The within-described shaving-mug A, with its soap-receptacle B, substantially as described.

JAS. MCGRADY.
